EXPOSED: Shanghai Billionaire’s Chinese Communist Party Network Fuels America’s Anti-ICE Riots

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/exposed-shanghai-billionaires-chinese-communist-party-network-fuels/

 

FBI Confirms Investigation Into Foreign Funding as Violence Spreads to 25+ Cities, and Cash Trail Leads Back to the Chinese Communist Party.

 

The anti-ICE riots engulfing Los Angeles and spreading to more than 25 American cities are not the spontaneous uprisings the mainstream media wants you to believe.

 

Behind the burning cars, Mexican and Palestinian flags, and attacks on federal agents lies a sophisticated network of Chinese Communist Party-linked funding that threatens the very foundations of American sovereignty.

 

The shocking truth: A Shanghai-based American billionaire with documented ties to the Chinese Communist Party has been funneling millions of dollars into the radical organizations orchestrating these riots, according to ongoing congressional investigations and FBI probes.

 

At the center of this operation is Neville Roy Singham, an American tech billionaire who relocated to Shanghai after selling his company for $785 million in 2017. He is now the subject of FBI and congressional investigations into foreign influence and illicit funding of radical groups operating inside the United States.

 

Singham has systematically built what investigators call “an elaborate dark money network” that allows him to send funds through a series of nonprofits with virtually no real footprints. Continue…

Pro-Trump Reporter Jumped by Out-of-Control Antifa Mob While Covering ‘No Kings’ Riot in Seattle (VIDEO)

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/pro-trump-reporter-jumped-antifa-mob-while-covering/

 

A right-wing reporter was jumped and robbed by a mob of Antifa militants as he covered the “No Kings” riot in Seattle.

 

Journalist Cam Higby reported that police were not intervening in the violent riot and blamed it on Democrat Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell.

 

Prior to the attack, Higby says he received a death threat from an alleged Antifa militant and posted screenshots of the conversation.

 

“Tyler Hahn threatened to kill me just weeks ago,” Higby wrote.

 

Higby claimed that it was Hahn and his “lackeys” who attacked him at the riot.

 

“While SPD was refusing to intervene with the riot tonight, militant Tyler Hahn and his lackeys JUMPED ME,” Higby wrote. “Dealing several blows to my head. I was able to deploy pepper spray and repel them, regaining the belongings they knocked out of my pockets.”

 

In a subsequent post, Higby tagged the mayor and wrote:

 

Hey

@MayorofSeattle

when are you going to start ENFORCING THE LAW IN YOUR CITY?!

 

I was MUGGED tonight by ANTIFA militants because you won’t allow SPD officers to do their job. You put my life at risk AND THEIRS.

 

You disgust me you slimy piece of human filth.

 

Resign. Now.

 

Higby also posted looking for a lawyer, “specifically, the sue the city kind.”

 

Earlier in the evening, Higby had filmed a car plowing through rioters who were attacking it without police intervention.

 

He also filmed and reported as rioters attempted to break into businesses and the federal building while screaming “kill all cops.”

 

U.S. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and Washington Solicitor General Noah Purcell spoke at the “No Kings” rally in the city earlier in the day.

The man accused of carrying out a targeted shooting against two state lawmakers and their spouses, local media is now reporting that his wife, Jenny Boelter, was detained and questioned during a traffic stop that revealed a cache of alarming items in her possession — including a gun, ammunition, large amounts of cash, and multiple passports.

 

According to a report by KSTP-TV, the vehicle carrying Jenny Boelter and three other family members was stopped outside a convenience store near Onamia, Minnesota, around 10 a.m. Saturday morning — just hours after authorities launched a manhunt for her husband.

 

According to Men’s Journal, while KSTP stopped short of naming Jenny, The New York Post confirmed her identity as the wife of the fugitive suspect, Vance Boelter, who is wanted in connection with a brutal shooting in Minnesota.

“U.S. citizens who are unable to depart Iran should be prepared to shelter in place for extended periods,” the alert continued. “U.S. citizens in Iran face serious, increasing dangers due to rising regional tensions. The U.S. government does not have diplomatic or consular relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Shock Report: Iran Admits Israel Has Infiltrated the “Highest Offices” of Its Government – Even Counter-Espionage Units Are Filled with Israeli Agents

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/shock-report-iran-admits-israel-has-infiltrated-highest/

 

On Friday, Israel launched an aerial attack that decimated Iran’s military leadership and destroyed much of Iran’s nuclear and military capabilities.

 

This was a huge blow to Iran but not unexpected. The US had recalled several diplomats and officials across the MidEast earlier in the week in anticipation of an Israeli military strike on Iran.

 

In two days of aerial strikes Israel eliminated several of the top Iranian officials sleeping in their homes in Tehran.

 

Banafsheh Zand Bonazzi at Iran So Far Away posted a diagram of the top Iranian officials targeted and eliminated by the Israeli military.

 

The head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC), the Commander of the Joint Staff of the Armed Forces, the Commander of the IRGC’s airspace, the Commander of the Khatam Al-Anbia Construction Headquarters, and others have been eliminated so far.

 

Israel announced that it was not against taking out the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. This would immediately make the ayatollah a rallying cry for his devotees.

 

According to Iran Wire, the reason Israel is having such great success in their military strikes and strategy so far is because Iran’s “highest offices” have been infiltrated by Israeli agents.

 

Israel has had success infiltrating the Iranian regime thanks to the mass corruption of the officials.

JUST IN: At Least One Injured in Shooting at “No Kings” Protest in Salt Lake City, Utah (VIDEO)

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/just-one-injured-salt-lake-city-utah-no/

 

A shooting broke out at a “No Kings” anti-ICE demonstration in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday night, and at least one person was injured, according to police.

 

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, leftist groups are holding over 1,800 anti-ICE demonstrations, dubbed “No Kings” protests, across the nation today.

 

Notably, the Utah shooting comes after a leftist Tim Walz appointee to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board murdered a Minnesota State Lawmaker and her husband and attempted to murder a lawmaker and his wife early Saturday morning.

 

The Utah shooting could be another potential false flag incident to blame Republicans for violence against the insurrectionist leftists.

 

Another incident occured in Virginia, about 60 miles away from Washington, DC on Saturday. A 21-year-old man reportedly drove through a crowd of anti-ICE protesters, injuring at least one. Continue…

Gateway Pundit Journalist Shot with Rubber Bullet and Tear Gas During LA ‘No Kings’ Riot — ‘They Are Targeting Press!’ (VIDEOS)

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/gateway-pundit-journalist-shot-rubber-bullet-tear-gas/

 

Gateway Pundit reporter Elijah Schaffer has been shot with a rubber bullet and a tear gas canister while covering the increasingly violent ongoing riot in Los Angeles.

 

The riot is part of the “No Kings” protests, which are taking place nationwide on Saturday.

 

An unlawful assembly was called at the LA protest in the late afternoon, and Schaffer filmed the United States Marine Corps and National Guard working together for crowd control.

 

After the unlawful assembly was declared, Schaffer documented multiple people in confrontations with officers and reported that there were “multiple injuries.”

 

Shortly after 5 p.m. local time, Schaffer wrote that “police are using tear gas and crowd control munitions to break up the crowd.”

 

“Though I identified as press and had my badges / credentials displayed, an officer still shot me with a rubber bullet,” Schaffer reported. “Another shot a tear gas can at me. They are targeting press.”

 

Schaffer reported that “5,000-10,000 people still remain” in the protest area, despite the crowd control measures and promises of arrests.

 

The riot in Los Angeles is ongoing and The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates as the situation unfolds.

The failing Labour Government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer is living through a ‘season of U-turns’, in which multiple policies and political decisions are being overturned.

 

Just days after the pensioner fuel subsidy that was cut has been mostly reinstated, a very consequential decision in justice and law-enforcement has been announced today (14) as Starmer says that he would accept a recommendation for a national inquiry into grooming gangs who sexually abused thousands of girls.

 

This reversal comes after the ‘incredible shrinking premier’ had previously ‘resisted calls for a statutory review’.

WATCH: IDF Shares 8 Month Old Video of Iran Missile Strikes, Claiming it’s “Raw Footage” From “The Past Hours” – Community Notes Strikes Again

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/watch-idf-shares-8-month-old-video-iran/

 

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was “community noted” on X after apparently presenting eight-month-old footage of bombs raining down on Tel Aviv as new footage of Friday night’s attack.

 

This comes after Iran reportedly attacked Israel in response to the Jewish state launching a preemptive aerial campaign against Iran’s nuclear program.

 

Iran issued a response to Israel’s attack on Friday night.

 

Israel released a video on Friday, supposedly showing the missile barrage they faced, but part of the video appears to be from an October 2024 attack.

 

“Israel is under attack,” the text read on the footage from almost one year ago. There’s no denying that Israel is facing attacks in response to theirs, but why the need to share a fake video?

Trump Hints At 'Possible' US Entry Into War Amid Stepped-Up Israeli Daytime Attacks On Tehran

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-hints-possible-us-entry-war-amid-stepped-israeli-daytime-attacks-tehran

 

After Saturday reports widely said that Israel requested direct US military assistance in attacking Iranian nuclear sites, President Trump in fresh comments to ABC News has begun to change the White House tune a little, as he now says it's 'possible' the US 'could get involved' in the Israel-Iran conflict.

 

He told ABC's Rachel Scott that "it's possible we could get involved" - however he emphasized that the US military is "not at this moment involved" in the conflict. He pivoted to calling for peaceful resolution, saying the US would be "open" to Russian President Vladimir Putin being a mediator in. "He is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it," Trump said. Of course, he campaigned against new wars starting and said these major conflicts would not have happened if he was president. Continue…

Old White Boomers By Day, Antifa By Night: 'No Kings' Color Revolution

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/old-white-boomers-day-antifa-night-no-kings-color-revolution

 

Strikes between Israel and Iran have escalated significantly in both scale and lethality, with Tehran deploying hypersonic missiles in direct attacks against Israeli cities. In response, the Israeli Defense Forces have executed a coordinated air campaign targeting key pillars of the Iranian regime's operational capacity—most notably the IRGC's crude oil export infrastructure, high-value military assets, and critical command-and-control facilities (strike roadmap laid out last fall). The scope and precision of these strikes suggest a deliberate strategy to degrade the regime's ability to function both economically and militarily, potentially placing the IRGC on a quick crash course toward systemic failure.

 

Simultaneously, within the U.S., a separate destabilization force unfolded this weekend. Continue…

Violent scenes have been caught on camera during an anti-LGBTQ rally in the post-Soviet country’s capital

 

Police officers have used force against the participants of an anti-LGBTQ rally in Moldova’s capital Chisinau, with videos from the scene capturing an Orthodox priest being knocked to the ground, while a man with a child was roughed up by officers and detained.

 

Tensions escalated after a group of LGBTQ activists staged an unsanctioned march in the center of the city, Sputink Moldova reported on Sunday.

 

Dozens of people with rainbow flags blocked traffic and paraded through the streets. Although the police had been deployed to the scene in large numbers, they made no effort to stop the march, according to the agency.

 

They eventually crossed paths with a counter-protest by Orthodox Christians carrying icons and crosses. Violence erupted when the anti-LGBTQ demonstrators tried breaching the police cordons separating them from the other group.

 

One of the videos from the scene captured officers brutally throwing an Orthodox priest to the ground. Continue…

Polygraph Tests Used in Investigation of Missing Siblings in Nova Scotia: RCMP

 

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/polygraph-tests-used-in-investigation-of-missing-siblings-in-nova-scotia-rcmp-5873044?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

 

RCMP in Nova Scotia said they’ve used polygraph tests on some of the people interviewed in an investigation into the case of two missing children in that province.

 

Lilly Sullivan, 6, and Jack Sullivan, 4, were reported missing on May 2. The siblings were said to have wandered off from their home on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne Station, about 140 kilometres northeast of Halifax.

 

Police conducted a search of the area following the children’s disappearance, but scaled back the search on May 7. Ground and air searches were resumed on May 17, with RCMP saying they were going to focus on specific areas rather than a wider search.

 

RCMP said they’ve received nearly 500 tips in the case and have interviewed 54 people, some of whom have taken a polygraph test.

 

“We’re accessing, evaluating and analyzing a significant volume of information from a variety of sources,” investigation lead Cpl. Sandy Matharu said.

 

“We have a very coordinated and deliberate approach to make certain all information is meticulously scrutinized, prioritized and actioned to ensure nothing is missed.” Continue…

More Than $400,000 Worth of Cocaine Discovered in Shoes at Pearson Airport, Border Services Says

The Canada Border Services Agency said it has seized more than $400,000 worth of cocaine hidden in shoes being transported into Canada at the Pearson International Airport.

 

The agency said the traveller caught with the 3.5 kilograms of drugs was arriving from Guyana, but told The Epoch Times in an email it could not disclose the individual’s citizenship due to the Privacy Act. The street value of the drugs has been estimated at $437,000.

 

The cocaine was found using contraband detection technology, according to the email from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). It said that some of the technology used by the agency include ion mobility spectrometry, x-rays, and Narcotic Identification Kits.

 

The traveller and the drugs were handed over to Ontario RCMP, CBSA said.

 

Earlier this year, CBSA seized more than $11 million worth of cocaine that was being shipped into Canada.

 

The drugs were discovered in two separate shipments from the United States to Canada, CBSA said at the time. Continue…

Mark Carney’s first big test on the world stage

 

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/15/mark-carney-g7-alberta-trump-00406353

 

At a turbulent moment in global geopolitics, Canada’s new prime minister welcomes Trump and G7 leaders to Alberta.

 

In Canadian diplomatic circles, “Charlevoix” is shorthand for summit disaster. Avoiding a repeat of the 2018 summit that Donald Trump set ablaze is job one for Prime Minister Mark Carney this week as he hosts G7 leaders.

 

Carney came to power by campaigning openly against Trump’s belligerence. But now he has a direct line to the president, with whom he’s negotiating an economic and security deal.

 

It’s a high-wire good cop/bad cop routine — and the rookie politician is playing both roles on home soil.

 

“Carney really does have to square a circle,” said Louise Blais, a senior special adviser on U.S. and international affairs at the Business Council of Canada. “Canadians feel bruised by the president. So he’s got to be nice, but not too nice.”

 

Blais warned that Trump could easily be distracted by a cold welcome from angry and frustrated Canadians who don’t want him on their side of the border. Even if protesters won’t get near the summit, demonstrations are sure to make news.

 

“We know that the president pays attention to the media, so I just hope that Canadians give the prime minister a little bit of grace to navigate this summit,” she said.

 

Carney welcomes his counterparts and a phalanx of other world leaders and influencers amid a swirl of crises in the Middle East and Ukraine, widespread tariff consternation and social unrest on America’s streets.

 

Add to that list the shocking back-to-back shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers in their homes — and a deadly Air India disaster. There’s a lot to disagree about, and even more to be distracted by. Continue…
